What are the Different Ways to Power OFF the SpringBoard Lite?
Different Ways to Turn your SpringBoard Lite Off
The I/O button on the front of the case, Auto Power Down in the MAINTENANCE MENU and the POWER OFF tool in the Toolbox are all available to turn your device Off.
Use the (I/O) button to turn your device On and Off. When you turn the device off with the I/O button, you must turn it back on using the I/O button.
There is also a POWER OFF tool in the Toolbox. If you would like to be able to turn the device off yourself but can't press the I/O button, you can go to the Toolbox and select POWER OFF or store the POWER OFF tool on your communication overlay. To turn the device back on simply tap on the screen or activate a switch.
When your device turns off, it saves any storing and/or programming that you have done up to that point. If you are doing a lot of storing/programming —perhaps setting up an overlay—make sure the device turns Off periodically so that your work is saved.
Use POWER OFF or the I/O button to properly shut down your device.
There is also has an Auto Power Down option in the MAINTENANCE MENU in the Toolbox. The default setting is 2 minutes. Select 2 minutes, 5 minutes or 10 minutes.
When your device is idle (no key activations) for 2, 5 or 10 minutes, the backlight will dim on your display. Activate any key or switch to bring it back.
After TEN MINUTES of dimmed backlight and no key activations, the screen goes dark. Activate any key or switch to bring it back.
We recommend that you leave Auto Power Down set to On. You can select the amount of time you want to use if 2 minutes is too fast for you.
If you change Auto Power Down to Off, the device will never turn Off unless you press the I/O button on the top of the case or activate the POWER OFF key in the Toolbox. If you forget that you turned Auto Power Down to Off and the device never goes Off, the batteries will eventually go dead.
Note: If you are using a headpointer and your device turns Off, you can activate a switch to turn it back on. The switch must be plugged into a Switch port on your device.
Troubleshooting Tip: If your device does not turn off or come back on as you expect it to: Press and hold the I/O button for ten seconds. The device should turn on (or off).
